By default there isn't a policy you can set. I created a custom ADM which I charged around £20 and this covers you for your whole domain. I don't currently have it hosted on my website. This will allow you to set Google as the default search engine. It also works with IE7 too on XP/2003 only.

£20! for an ADM?! OMG?!?!

Take a look at:
Set Google as search provider in IE7.
IE7 - add a set of search providers
How to create custom .adm or .admx files to add search providers to the toolbar search box in Internet Explorer 7

I am about to make an adm etc up for this anyway to set our new IE8/W7 boxes so I will post it later. Also I think you can use the IEAK8 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/cc889351.aspx) to make a msi that you install after building that sets the options but I dont know about the limitation of the IEAK.

On a side point Michael please note you cant really promote pay apps etc on this site without sponsorship, only freebies plz.

Hi. Will this ADM work under the following conditions:

Client OS: XP Pro: SP3.
Client browser: Either IE7 or IE8 [I am partway through moving to IE8 on our classroom/office machines]
Domain controller OS: Windows Server 2008: 64 Bit.

Thanks.

I have just completed a fesh install of XP SP3 at home. When it got to the point where it asks about Bing/Google etc I captured the following URL:

Add Search Providers to Internet Explorer

[Add Search Providers to Internet Explorer]

My plan is to try this out tomorrow at work. If it works I intend to include the change in the next round of images [or I might be able to create an MSI based upon the changes?]

Either way I will get back and post on any progress.
